This song is played with a capo on the first fret in D
Verse I
He was raised on a tractor in overalls and boots
been to college then law school since leaving his roots
came home in a lexus, he left in a ford
country aint country no more
verse II
He told his daddy keep up with the times
he said, now days people trade heifers online
daddy aint sealing deals with handshakes no more
and country aint country no more, no country aint country
no more
Chorus
The back forty was sold to make up for hard times
and sold by the half acre lot over night
the houses went up and the trees they came down
and there went the finest deer huntin around
lord, everyones locking their doors
cause country aint country no more
Verse III
Now his dad sits in traffic looking round at the change
watching crews turn the country road into four lanes
the old sunday drive has turned into a chore
and country aint country more
lord, country aint country no more
repeat chorus
outro
there s no turning back and you just cant ignore
that country aint country no more
no country aint country no more
